Chapter 92 Preliminary Selection
"Naruto, and Sasuke, you are finally here." Ino's voice sounded, and then my back sank. Ino had already pounced on my back: "Naruto, you are finally here. I was still worried about you being late with Hinata?"
I looked at Ino on my back and smiled helplessly: "That battle exhausted our physical strength, so we spent the rest of our time resting, but fortunately we had completed the task, so we rushed here immediately after resting. Unfortunately, ours happened to catch up. Well, Ino, you come down first!"
Shikamaru and Dingji also came. Shikamaru still looked afraid of trouble, while Dingji was still eating snacks, but Dingji handed me a bag of biscuits when he saw me.
"That's great, Naruto, you're qualified too." Hinata said with a red face, standing in front of me.
When Ino saw Hinata coming to me, he immediately jumped off me. I smiled at Ino gently, then stepped forward and hugged Hinata slightly in his arms: "I'm late, sorry, Hinata, I'm worried." Hinata shook her head.
"Hey, don't kiss me and mine as soon as you meet, okay?" Wang Wang." He walked over with Akamaru on his head, and at the same time, Akamaru on his head also cried a few times and expressed his opinions. The oil girl Shino still looked the same and buried her face in the top of the high-collared shirt.
"Sakura, how could you be so hurt? Who hurts you?" Ino saw the bandage on Sakura and immediately said angrily: "I must teach him a lesson." Ino's concern for Sakura was not a bit fake. After all, they were the best friends, but because Sasuke had a disagreement. From a certain perspective, this is indeed a blaming Sasuke. If he explicitly refused, maybe the two of them would not be incompatible. However, although they had disagreements, they were still the best friends. No one could change this.
Sakura shook her head: "It's okay, these wounds have been completely healed. As for the person who injured me, Naruto has been killed. I think their bodies should still be lying on the 44th exercise ground now."
Ino gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Hmph, it's really a cheaper one."
At this time, a 'swoosh' sound, "Okay, let's be quiet. Come here to gather." Hongdou's voice sounded. When we looked, we saw the third generation of Naruto and a lot of Uenin appeared in front. But I saw two people around Sandai who were guarding the Hades of Sand Village, one of whom was Maki, and the other didn't know him, but it gave me a snake feeling. This person was Orochimaru. This was my first feeling.
All of us began to gather there and then arranged according to our respective groups. Five of the seven groups were Konoha Ninjas, and the remaining two groups were Sand Ninjas. In other words, from a certain perspective, it has now become a confrontation between Konoha and Sand Village.
Hongdou looked at us and said, "First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the second exam. Next, the third generation of Naruto will explain the third exam. Everyone should listen carefully." Then Hongdou turned to Sandou and said, "Then Naruto, please trouble you."
The third generation nodded, then walked forward a few steps: "Before the instructions of the third exam, I will tell you one thing, the real purpose of the second exam. Why are the Allies holding up the Chunin exam together?" The third generation paused slightly and looked at us and said: "The real purpose is to increase each other's strength. Of course, you can also understand it as a microcosm of war."
"What!" We were slightly surprised.
The third generation held the pipe in their hands and spit out a smoke ring and said, "If you open the history book, you will know that the allies nowadays were tyrants who fought endlessly. In order to avoid wasting combat power and the possibility of losing both sides, each country formulated the Zhongren selection exam, which was the beginning of the Zhongren exam."
I said disdainfully: "So that's it. Whether a village is powerful or not depends on the combat power it has now, but on whether there is new combat power to join, just like a fish in a water tank. Only by constantly changing water can the fish live a healthy life, and the same is true for the Ninja Village. Only by constantly growing up with a shinnin can the Ninja Village be maintained, because the strength of the Ninja Village is equivalent to the strength of the Ninja Village. The strength of the Ninja Village is equal to the strength of the country. As long as the ninja becomes strong, the country will naturally become stronger. The power of the ninja can only be maximized between life and death, so in order to exert all our strength, the second exam becomes a small battlefield. Except for the only companions, everyone else is enemies."
The third generation nodded: "Yes, in the third exam, we will invite the names of countries and all kinds of famous people who have commissioned our mission, and they will watch your battles at that time. So you will fight with the prestige of the country. If the gap is obvious, then a strong country will naturally receive more commissions, and at the same time, it will also give the leading country the idea of "our country has such strong combat power" and get the effect of diplomatic pressure. The third exam is to show its own strength and let other countries understand the meaning. Using killing and strength to maintain the balance between countries, this is the friendship between countries."
Gaara said with murderous aura: "It doesn't matter, start the third exam quickly!"
The third generation put the pipe in his hand into his mouth and said, "Although I want to start now, in fact..." As soon as San Gene said this, a person appeared in front of him, but this person was kneeling in front of San Gene.
"Sir Naruto, please forgive me for being rude. Please hand over the next thing to me who has accepted the trial mission, Moonlight and Wind!"
The third generation nodded: "Please give me everything."
"Yes." Yueguang Jifeng stood up and said, "Everyone, I'm Yueguang Jifeng for the first time. Cough cough." Yueguang Jifeng turned his head to look at us, and was constantly coughing. There were some serious dark circles on his eyes, his face was very pale, and he looked like a serious patient who had fallen into his bone marrow.
"Ahem." Yueguang Qifeng said: "Before the third exam, everyone has to conduct another exam, that is, the pre-select to take the third exam."
"Pre-choice? Hello, what's going on with this pre-choice?" Shikamaru shouted excitedly, but looking at Shikamaru's appearance, there were many wounds on his face, and it seemed that his second exam was not so simple.
"Teacher, I don't understand the meaning of this pre-select. Why can't the remaining candidates take the third exam directly?" Sakura asked in confusion.
"Because of the number of people!" I said softly: "There are seven groups present now, that is, twenty-one people. I think the third exam should be personal ability, so the examination method should be personal strength. Twenty-one people here, all of which require ten battles, one person takes bye, and then five games and one person takes bye, and so on, the number of times that will be conducted will exceed twenty. The third generation grandfather just said that the third exam will have many well-known people from all countries to watch the game. I think those big names should not have much time to watch so many battles! So it is necessary to conduct a pre-select before the third exam to reduce the number of people."
Yueguang Jifeng looked at me and said, "Okay, that's it. If there are people who are not feeling well, cough cough, cough cough." Yueguang Jifeng coughed, and a drop of cold sweat immediately appeared on everyone's foreheads. "Sorry, there are people who don't want to participate after hearing the previous explanation that they don't want to participate. If you withdraw, please report it now, because the pre-select will start soon."
"What! Start soon?" "We have only passed the exam twice." Although we complained, no one raised his hand to withdraw from the exam.
"Oh, by the way. Cough." Yueguang Jifeng coughed for a while: "I forgot to say that the next one is the single-player system, which means that you can withdraw according to your own wishes and not affect your companions. So those who want to withdraw don't have to worry." After a while, Dou raised his hand to give up this exam. Then no one gave up. After all, everyone here has finally passed this exam. How could he give up so easily? In other words, people who want Dou to give up like this with special purpose will give up. However, Dou's premature abandonment still aroused the suspicion of the third generation. Especially when they knew that Dou gave up six times in a row, he gave up in the pre-select of the third game. He paid more attention to Dou. But I think Dou's these things should not matter to Dou!
Yueguang Jifeng looked at us and said, "It seems that no one should withdraw next, so let's continue the third preliminary selection of the Zhongren selection exam." Yueguang Jifeng nodded at Hongdou.
Hongdou said to the headphones: "Open." Then a stone slab behind them slowly rose up and an electronic board appeared.
Yueguang Jifeng spoke, "The pre-selecting is a one-on-one actual combat. Now twenty people here are to go to ten games. Those who win can enter the third exam. Wait a while for two people to appear on this electronic board, and they are both sides of the first battle. There is no rule for the pre-selecting. The battle is till one side dies, falls, and admits defeat. Ahem, but if I think the winner is decided, in order not to add meaningless corpses, I will intervene in the battle and forcefully terminate the competition." Then Yueguang Jifeng looked at us and said, "Then who among you will let the electronic board of fate be selected first?" Yueguang Jifeng just finished speaking, the electronic board began to jump, and the names of the twenty of us kept flashing by.
